There will be no private DMs. People want transparency and accountability so we’re going do this right here in public. You can start by apologizing to all impacted and then reimburse them all of their expenses with extra flight credit/money for the trouble caused.

The same World Cup seat is $700 on FIFA's official site and $200 on SeatGeek right now. That gap is not a glitch.

Dynamic pricing solved the upside for FIFA. Demand climbs, the price climbs, $60 group seats turn into $700 matchups, the US opener hit $1,940 at face. The downside is where the system breaks. The second FIFA cuts an official price below what someone already paid, it invites refund demands, chargebacks, and a consumer-protection fight across three host countries.

So the official number cannot fall. It is a published price attached to thousands of fans who bought higher, which turns every markdown into a liability.

Read it as economics instead of conspiracy and it sharpens. FIFA overpriced, then built a channel where lowering the real price is legally radioactive. The secondary market is the only place left to discover what the seats actually clear at.

Those contiguous blocks landing on SeatGeek at $198, $228, $230 are FIFA's true demand curve leaking out where the official site can keep pretending it doesn't exist.

The elegant part: FIFA's own resale marketplace takes 15% from the buyer and 15% from the seller. So even as inventory clears below face, FIFA collects a toll on the way down. They earn on the markdown they can't announce.

Saudi Arabia vs Cape Verde settling near $200 while the official page holds the line tells you the market-clearing price was set months ago. FIFA just can't be the one to say it out loud.

@ShashiTharoor Good for those players for their hard work and dedication! But to call it historic moment for Indian football fans is utterly delusional! Indian football needs a complete overhaul and pluck out all the weed from the administration #AIFF @IndianFootball #RoadToWorldCup2046

17 STRAIGHT DAYS OF ABSOLUTE MADNESS 🍿

[Adam @AdamJoseph]

When Gary Neville lied about Bruno Fernandes, he never acknowledged it or apologised.

When Paul Scholes & Nicky Butt disrespected Lisandro Martinez, they didn't apologise & doubled down.

When Roy Keane misquoted Bruno Fernandes, he chose not to apologise & doubled down.

It takes maturity & grace to admit when you've gotten something wrong. Players have called out these ex-players & they couldn't handle it.

All they had to do was say they got it wrong, perhaps even apologise & move on. They would rather it drag on, because that gets them what they truly want.

Disappointing to find out you have to separate the players you loved from the pundits you can't stand.

[The Touchmine | 𝐓 @TouchmineX]

🚨🗣️ Ole Gunnar Solskjær on the best teams at the World Cup:

“For me, the midfield is the most crucial part of a lineup, and in that area nobody comes remotely close to Portugal this year. Vitinha, João Neves, and Bruno are all top 10 Ballon d’Or contenders this season. Put them in the same team and you’ll see the magic.

Teams like Spain also have great players like Pedri, Rodri, and Gavi, but Portugal have the advantage of Vitinha and Neves playing week in and week out together, so they already understand each other perfectly.

And one thing I know for a fact is that Bruno is the most adaptable player I’ve ever coached. No matter the system or role, he’ll always deliver.”

Hope isn’t blind optimism — it arises in the face of uncertainty. If you look at our history, we’ve gone through some rough patches. But we tend to come out on the other side of them stronger than before.

The number of simple missed catches in the @IPL is just staggering! Always bet the over @Kalshi @Polymarket @BCCI @ICC
